Mississippi State holds off A&M, 11-9
By TOM TAGLIABUE
Sports Writer
The Mississippi State Bulldogs got
five innings of no-hit pitching from
Mike McRaney and then turned
back an awkward rally by Texas
A&M in the last two innings to de
feat the Aggies 1 1-9 Wednesday at
Olsen Field.
A&M, who lost its second straight
game to MSU, fell to 16-9, while
MSU improved its record to 8-5.
Both teams were sluggish from
the start but A&M took a 1-0 lead in
the first inning as McRaney issued
four walks.
A&M starter Darryl Fry (5-2)

fore MSU connected for four runs
in the fourth.
Tracy Echols, who hit two home
runs in last night’s 17-9 MSU win,
belted a two-out three-run homer to
put the Bulldogs ahead. MSU picked
up the fourth run of the inning on
an RBI-double by jack Malone.
Down 4-1 in the fourth, A&M
threatened a come back when Chan
dler belted a long fly ball to deep left
field, but a 15 mph wind kept the
ball in the park and Bulldog left
fielder Dan Paradoa made the grab
against the fence.
MSU put the nail in the Aggies’
coffin when they scored seven runs
in the sixth.
Fry began the sixth by loading the
bases for Malone, who blooped a
short single into left Field to score a
run. McDonald followed with a two-
run double that chased Fry.

Texas, SMU have SWC meet plans in 1-2 ordei
By KEN SURY
Assistant Sports Editor
There are certain things which
are etched in stone — the Ten Com
mandments and the University of
Texas winning the Southwest Con
ference swimming and diving cham
pionships.
And that’s the reason Texas A&M
Swimming Coach Mel Nash is hop
ing his men’s team will finish third
this weekend in the SWC meet at the
Texas Swimming Center in Austin
Thursday through Saturday.
“I don’t understand why it’s in
scribed in granite somewhere that
Texas will finish First, SMU second,
and then Arkansas, A&M, Texas
Tech, TCU and Rice,” Nash said.
“But that’s what happens.
“It’s not like football where each
year there are changes in the stand
ings. Swimming^ programs don’t
change much and so the placings re
main pretty stagnant.”
UT is ranked No. 3 in the nation
and SMU is No. 8, so Nash said he
doesn’t expect any miracle upsets of
those teams by A&M, or any other
SWC opponent.
Nash said the meet’s excitement.
Men’s Swimming
as far as he’s concerned, will be the
battle for third place between A&M
and Arkansas.
“Arkansas has finished third and
us fourth the last couple of years,”
he said. “So Arkansas is comfortable
about beating us in conference. We’ll
have to change that.”
But bettering the Razorbacks will
be an uphill struggle for the Aggies
because A&M doesn’t have any di
vers. So the Aggies have already
spotted the Hogs 36 points, since the
men’s diving competition was held
two weeks ago during the women’s
SWC swimming meet.
“We were hoping to he behind
(Arkansas) by only about 20 to 25
points after the diving,” Nash said.
“But Texas and SMU didn’t send all
their divers so Arkansas was able to
finish higher and earn more points.”
But despite the 36-point deficit,
Nash said he’s optimistic about the
Aggies’ chances.
“I like to think on paper we’re a
better team (than Arkansas),’’ Nash
said. “We’re deeper in strokes (the
butterfly, backstroke and breasts
troke) than Arkansas and that could
be a factor.
At the forefront of the A&M swim
attack will be All-American Chris
O’Neil, who became the first Aggie
SWC swimming champion, winning
the 50- and 100-yard butterfly last
year.
Joining O’Neil in the butti
competition are Chris Kan
Mike Kozlina and Roberto S;
Kanning and Kozlina also swimi
backstroke along with Robert Ei
lock, Chris Fmig and Scott McDa
aid.
I he breaststroke squad is
|>osed of Jeff Marx, Mike DeNi
and Jeff Garry.
A&M’s short-distance (200-ni
or - less) freestylers include EddieAi
man, Clark McDonald, Aaron El
Donough. Danny Stevens and Dn
Kohel.
“In previous years we used to
at conference and say, ‘Oh, an
lieat Arkansas?’” Nash said.“Butti
year the team’s been saying, Hi
maybe we can be Arkansas.
And maybe the Aggies an
